What Beyond These Stars is
Beyond These Stars is a simulator game developed by Balancing Monkey Games and released in 2026. It was published by Hooded Horse. It is available on PC (Microsoft Windows) only. It runs on Unity.
The premise, in the publisher's words
Recovering from uncertain times, the Peeps find themselves on the back of Kewa - a lonely Space Whale journeying across the universe. Building a city on the back of a sentient creature comes with its own set of challenges, but as you build your relationship and travel across the galaxy, you'll come across great opportunities for exploration and stable expansion. Meet other species, pursue the needs and wants of your Peeps, and seek the truth about their ancestors, and the Space Whales alike.
How it plays
It is played from a bird view / isometric perspective. Its themes are fantasy and science fiction. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
